[QUOTE="Relique du Madde, post: 5533096, member: 42169"] You might want to wait until the Samsung Galaxy 9.8 and 10.1 pads come out. why? Because Apple uses Samsung screens for the iPads meaning that the Galaxy Honeycombs will have equal if not better displays. Not sure if typing gets easier without a physical keyboard, I know that there are some apps like swype, but so far I could using swype annoying since I accidentally swype the wrong keys with my fingers (and it tends to make your fingers feel raw after a bit). "Competitive" is a vague benchmark considering that iPad is considered to be the easy money platform and a number like 500 could be seen as being competitive depending on what kind of apps those 500 are. Fact of the matter is some apps scale perfectly while others don't because of the screen differences within the Android platform. Most of the newer phones use 800 x480 (Droids use 854x480 which was a problem when making an android air game I've been working on that lead me to just dev for honeycomb since to the memory requirements on that system make for a far better flash-based experience). Luckily it seems that Google mandated a 1280x800 screen resolution on Honeycomb since almost every tablet that has been revealed since after February are using that resolution (The Slate G appears to be the only tablet that snuck passed google's android lockdown constraints).
